Welcome to the Department of Chemistry

We are committed to offering students
an excellent education in chemistry and chemistry-related areas through our
Bachelor (BSc), Masters (MSc) and PhD programs. Unique for Switzerland, we
offer in cooperation with the Faculty of Economics, a master program in
business chemistry.

Our broad
and interdisciplinary research programs mirror very well the enthusiasm felt by
all our research groups for their subject areas, and their excitement in carrying
scientific discoveries into neighbouring disciplines.
